It was easy for Ming Xi to catch up with Ming Yu. He followed unhurriedly, making sure that Ming Yu was in his sight.
"San 'er, why is Ming Yu so angry all of a sudden?" Ming Xi asked San' er.
"I don't know." San 'er looked confused. "Madam was combing my hair when I saw her standing outside the window. She looked very angry."
At that time, Ming Yu's expression was as if she had been robbed of something. Anyway, she looked very fierce.
Ming Xi understood the reason for his sister's anger from San 'er's words.
"I'll go after her." Ming Xi said.
Ming Yu had already run to the garden and was running towards the gate. It seemed that she wanted to return to the palace.
It was not easy to get her out of the palace. If she went back like this, it would be a waste of Ming Xi's efforts.
"Ming Yu, don't run anymore." Ming Xi grabbed Ming Yu's hand. "Can you listen to me?"
"What else is there to say? It's enough for your family to be together. Why did you call me here?" The anger on Ming Yu's face had not disappeared. She was not a person who knew how to hide her emotions since she was a child and had always been spoiled. Today, when she saw Ye Zhen combing San 'er's hair, it touched the deep pain in her heart. All her emotions erupted at once.
Ming Xi said amusedly, "Ming Yu, in fact, you have always missed Father and Mother, right?"
"Nonsense, I don't have parents." Ming Yu cried.
"Then why are you angry?" Ming Xi asked. "Don't you feel bad when you see Mother combing San 'er's hair? You think that Mother can only do this for you, so you are angry and deliberately said those words to hurt Mother. Ming Yu, do you know that when you hurt Mother, you are also hurting yourself? "
Ming Yu turned her face away. "I don't know what you are talking about."
"You know what I am talking about." Ming Xi pressed down on Mingyu's shoulders, forcing her to look him in the eye. "You hate us because you think Father and Mother abandoned you because of me. But in truth, when Mother went to rescue me, she had no idea that Father would follow her to the Xuantian Continent. She only found out a long time later that Father was in the Xuantian Continent, and that you were here by yourself. You remember me not because you treat me especially well as your older brother, but because you want to piss Mother off. You want Mother to know that you intentionally forgot them, right?"
Ming Xi's words stabbed at Ming Yu's heart. Even if Ming Yu did not want to admit it, her face alternated between green and white. She had no choice but to admit that this was indeed what she was thinking.
"How do you want us to compensate you?" Ming Xi asked, "If I leave and disappear, Father and Mother will no longer look for me and stay behind to accompany you, will your anger be appeased? Will it prove that they like you more?"
"I don't need it!" Ming Yu's face was pale, and her eyes were filled with tears.
Ming Xi looked at her calmly. "Then what do you want?"
"She wanted to go with us to save you." Shang'er said in a small voice. "She felt that she was left behind because she was too useless."
"Shang'er, you peeked at her thoughts!" Ming Xi frowned, his tone displeased as he looked at Shang'er.
"She didn't say anything. You and Madam looked very unhappy. I just wanted to help you." Shang'er pouted. She did not like to peek at other people's thoughts. It consumed a lot of spiritual energy. She did it for them.
Ming Xi patted her hand. "Be good. Don't do this in the future. No matter who it is, don't."
"Oh." Shang'er nodded obediently.
"Nonsense. I didn't think that way." Ming Yu shouted angrily.
Ming Xi sighed. "You always thought that we went out to sea, but that's not the case. The place we went to was even more dangerous than this place. I think that if we had another chance, Father and Mother would still not bring you to the Xuantian Continent, because we both wanted to protect you."
"You can say whatever you want now." Ming Yu snorted.
"I originally wanted to let you know later." Ming Xi walked towards Ming Yu. "After you know, don't tell anyone."
Ming Yu looked at him, puzzled. "What?"
"I want to tell you where we went." Ming Xi grabbed Ming Yu's hand. "The people there are different from here. The weak are prey to the strong, and the strong are everything. Mother was just a mortal. It wasn't easy for her to survive step by step, and she was once surrounded by the entire world. Everyone wanted to kill her. You said that you've grown up, so you should understand what kind of danger we faced back then."
Ming Yu's face paled. She did not believe a single word Ming Xi said.
"I'm not lying to you." Ming Xi said, then activated his qi sea and flew up with Ming Yu.
The wind whistled past their ears.
Ming Yu's eyes widened as she looked at the entire capital beneath her feet.
"Huo 'er!" Ming Xi shouted.
Another figure suddenly appeared. As it entered the clouds, it spread its wings and transformed into a giant phoenix, circling around Ming Xi and Ming Yu.
"Phoenix?" Ming Yu stared at the phoenix in shock.
"Don't tell anyone." Ming Xi laughed. "I'll take you up."
Ming Yu was even more shocked. She could sit on a phoenix? Phoenixes were … legendary gods.
"He's Huo 'er." Ming Xi said, taking Ming Yu to sit on the phoenix's back.
At this time, the sky had already darkened. Stars appeared in the sky. It was Ming Yu's first time seeing the starry sky so closely. It was like a dream.
"Ming Yu, do you understand now? We're not going out to sea, we're not going sightseeing. We've arrived at a place where we can't come back as we please. There are too many unknown dangers there. If we weren't lucky, we might not have been able to return. "Ming Xi said in a low voice.
"Ming Xi, we can't fly up anymore. Otherwise, Ming Yu won't be able to bear it." The phoenix said. He had already flown to the end of the sky.
"It's okay. The people below can't see you. At most, they'll think you're a meteor." Ming Xi looked down. The capital had long been out of sight. There was only a vast expanse of clouds, and because the sky was dark, he couldn't see anything.
Ming Yu asked in a daze, "You … can all fly?"
This "you" naturally included Ye Zhen and Mo Rongzhan.
"If we don't cultivate, we won't be able to move an inch there. Mother didn't even know martial arts before. You can imagine how difficult it was for her to cultivate." Ming Xi said in a low voice.
Ming Yu gently stroked the phoenix's feathers. It was so real … it didn't seem like a dream at all.
"Let's go back. Otherwise, the adults will be worried." Ming Xi said. "If you want to know more, I'll tell you later."
"It's not a dream." Ming Yu murmured. She really saw a phoenix, really flew into the sky.
Ming Xi looked at her and smiled. He returned to the Ye family as fast as he could. The moment he landed, his spiritual power was also exhausted. He almost collapsed. Fortunately, Shang 'er supported him in time.
The phoenix looked at him worriedly.
"Ming Yu, it's time for us to finish eating." Ming Xi said, nodding to the other two, indicating that he was fine.
